New from Shikaruna X + Velocitron: Kuchisake Onna

Here's a first look at a new figure which will soon be released in sofubi. The other day at the Fort, Ricky was kind enough to assemble the parts (which he recently cast in wax and sent to the mold maker) so I could shoot the complete figure and show it to everyone.

The figure is Kuchisake Onna, which means "slit-mouthed woman." It's based on an old folktale which later morphed into an urban
legend. The twist here is the figure is reimagined as a yokai, with
animal parts interwoven into the figure's character and anatomy.
